Invisible Men

In his latest collection of short fiction, Eric Freeze puts his breathtaking talent in service of witty and heartbreaking storytelling. This is a dazzling mix that feels remarkably effortless, from "The Virgins" (an homage to Rick Moody) to the formally innovative ("Mr. America"). A wild fabulist strain runs throughout, from "The Ice Woman" to "The Invisible Invisible Man," in which a pair of overalls keeps a husband out of sight. Following his award-winning Hemingway on A Bike, Freeze continues to hit his stride.
